Summary of 2 articles · Updated Mar 7, 2013

Cornerback Tramaine Brock didn’t play a major role on defense for the 49ers in 2012, but the team would still like to retain the restricted free agent-to-be’s services. The 49ers have tendered a one-year contract to restricted-free-agent cornerback Tramai… (more)ne Brock, a special-teams standout who played just 21 defensive snaps last year. Since Brock was an undrafted free agent, the 49ers would not receive draft-pick compensation if another team signs Brock. The 49ers have offered Brock the "original round" tender of $1.323 million, according to his agent, Ron Slavin. Brock, 24, shared team-high honors with 15 special-teams tackles last year and collected a team-best 681 special-teams points, according to statistics compiled by the coaching staff. The 49ers also officially announced the signing of wide receiver Joe Hastings, who ended the 2011 season on the active roster. He appeared on defense in only four regular-season games, never playing more than seven snaps in any contest as the team's No. 5 cornerback.
